| New favorite VINYL Album? I am thoroughly enjoying Robbie Robertson's new one - "How To Be Clairvoyant" and Tomothy B Schmitt's "Expando". | |
| What are some favorite NOS 12AX7s for phono? You must relegate to the fact that if you want a quiet phono stage (especially a MC stage) cheap tubes are not the way to go. I suggest to email Jim McShane and get his take on what you might need. He ha never steered me wrong. | |
| What are some favorite NOS 12AX7s for phono? I have tried Telefunken ribs, Sovtek LPS, Mullard reissues, Gold Lion, Mazda, Sylvania, Tungsol gold pins, and the pair I have come to cherish are Psvane Treasures sold by Grant Fidelity. Be sure and get the premium grade tubes for phono use. | |
| HELP Rega P-7; VPI Classic 2; Scout 2 or ? I am partial to Rega tables - never have been a fan of the VPI sound. No experience with the Clearaudio tables. Bottom line - you need to listen and make your own decision. The P7 is a major step up from the P5 (I have owned both - now own the P9:... | |
| HELP Rega P-7; VPI Classic 2; Scout 2 or ? The C2200 only has a MM/MC HO stage. I used a P7 w/Dynavector 20XH with mine and was very content...until I traded up to the C2300/P9/Lyra Delos. I think i will stay put for a while. | |

| RCM recommendations Had a Nitty Gritty 2.5Fi - recently stepped up to the Mini-Pro2 - awaiting arrival. I was very happy with the 2.5Fi, the upgrade bug bit hard. I like how NGs vacuum from below - gravity helps with fluid removal. | |

| looking for phono suggestions P3-24 to a P7 is a huge jump in sonics - I experienced an improvement going froma P5 to a P7 and even more improvement going form the P7 to the P9. Bottom line, trust your ears and not someone elses opinion. | |
| Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge? Good points Mr. Carr and I appreciate your honesty. I have nothing too elaborate - a Rega P9 TT (RB1000 arm) and I use the MC phono stage in my McIntosh C2300 preamp which has adjustable loading of 25, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 ohms by use of rem... | |
| Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge? Jonathan, thank you for your detailed and precise explanations. I am a current Delos owner and have been bitten by the Lyra sound. I have previously owned cartidges from rega (Exact) and Dynavector (DV20XH). The Delos is my first LOMC and am enjoy... | |
